The Red King

Let the kid play, and judge him based on his actual performance? What is this madness you're spouting?!? ?

Rodak hates the Bills, even moreso now that they made him look like an absolute fool last season after a preseason article of his where after big trades he stated "The Bills season is over before it started." So, in cases like this, consider the source. In Rodak's case the source is a blathering idiot with a strong bias against the Bills and a new chip on his shoulders after the Bills exposed him as such last season by ending the drought. Over before it started indeed. Tool.

Keep in mind it doesn't have to be one or the other. It's not a shell game where we know there is only one good QB in the draft. It's quite possible Rosen does wonderful in Arizona, and Allen does remarkable in Buffalo.

Pfft, it wasn't politics. Everyone knows the reason Josh Rosen fell...

Loved that game, but that was outside the stated year range. ^.^

The AFC Championship game vs. the Chiefs. Was at that one, got to see Montana crushed live.

Something I wonder...Josh Rosen is impressing, Josh Allen is impressing, TT is impressing...everyone is impressing. Keep in mind teams want to build up their players, so of course a lot of positive comments will come out. Would we really get any negatives? I mean if Rosen was struggling, would there really be public reports saying "Josh Rosen disappointing coaches. GM orders crate of Pepto and ponders his life choices."? Of course not! So be it Rosen, Allen or anyone else...take comments that prospects are impressing with a grain of salt.

It's not all or nothing. Once in a great while there will certainly be a post that should be reported. Something legitimately offensive or such. The point of this post is some people are a little overeager. Just because a few people report far more then they should doesn't mean nothing should ever be reported.

Well, if AI takes over, they may take over the NFL. Then we could get Cyberball!

I still hold to another 9-7 year following the same template as last year, lean hard on an improved D, hope the O can scrape enough points up to win. I think the O will be on par with last season, growing pains offset by a QB that will throw breaking opposing Ds out of stacking the box. I see, overall, a slightly improved team, but hold to 9 wins because I think the schedule is rougher. Got a funny feeling we steal one from NE this year, though.

I...oh wow. Missed that entirely. I might be better off going to sleep rather then internetting. XD I saw the URL started with "entertainment" and somehow made the logic jump to it being an Entertainment Tonight article. Whelp, I feel silly. ?

Um...what? O.o ...if...I read this right...the whole point is...racists get away with being racists on ABC shows...so...Roseanne...should have been allowed to get away with racist tweets in real life? Please, please someone tell me I misinterpreted this. Please tell me they didn't actually try and make that argument. Please, for my own sanity.

Not always. The Comeback was spearheaded by backups. ? When you're a bad team, you have a hard enough time filling the starting spot with quality players. Very rarely does a team fill in the backups until their starting 22 are solid. At the moment the Bills are...well...not solid. Too many holes still in offense starter spots to worry about backups. Now, if Buffalo can stabalize their starters in the next year or two, expect the staff to start padding the roster with quality backups. Until then, yeah, we're gonna have very shaky depth.

So, basically this board just needs a bit more...

...why...would we take away the past season? Hey, by that logic, if we take away the Brady years we can clearly say the Patriots are one of the worst teams in pro sports. ?

Honestly, no idea. I think packed, but not every seat taken...typical for the '90s Bills when playing a team of NE's (at the time) calibur. BUF/NE games back then weren't exciting draws to Bills fans then...much like the same is currently true to NE fans. Definately through a mirror darkly there.

...we currently have the longest playoff drought?

This is why we can't have nice things. People quibble over every rule, want everything quantified down to the last pixel when common sense should be enough. I used to be a mod and then admin on a board a decade or so ago and I know I only stepped in when I had to. From what I can tell, staff here seems the same. Simply put, we're not idiots. We all know how to behave and what we should be doing. If a staff member says something, one of two things happened. You got carried away and got a private nudge to settle down, or you did something you didn't realize was wrong, and got a private poke from staff letting you know. When that happens, the staff isn't out to get you! Most likely they just want the issue done and corrected so they can go back to doing almost anything else. If people listen, learn and respect that...there shouldn't be further problems. Sadly, one or more people are not listening, and so we have this thread, one I'm certain the staff would have much preferred not writing. It's a blanket statement, because the goal is correcting the behavior, not shaming the offender(s). So, to support the staff, let me be blunt. Please realise the staff are human, and staff duties are rarely fun. If a staff member messaged you privately, it's not because they are bored, or a jerk. There was behavior disruptive to the forum taking place. Please pay close attention to what is said, and make any adjustments requested. Good staff members will drop the hammer when need be, for the good of the forum. But good staff members will usually feel terrible when they have to. Don't put them in that position. Listen when the staff tells you something, and just use some common sense when posting. That's really all it should take.

Don't forget, during the Super Bowl years the Pats were us. I remember being at the stadium for those games. I felt truly bad for one Pats fan who was drunk out of his mind by the second half. The Bills were crushing the Pats and scored yet again. During the 'Fight!' song this poor guy barely managed to slur out..."The Bills make me wanna puke!" in rythem to the song. I couldn't hate him, just...pitied him. Some Pats fans need longer memories I think, remember their franchise history pre-Brady. Might make 'em a lil more humble.

Never forget those who fought not just so they could be free, but rather so we all could be.

In the olden days when you said something to someone it was to their face. Internet anonomosity lets people be jerks. Just Google "John Gabriel's Greater Internet F***wad Theory". ?

Going to four consecutive championship games...winning the conference four consecutive years...makes you the worst team in professional sports? ?

OMG...just watched that yesterday! So, would that lead to..."He can't do that to our posters. Only we can do that to our posters!" ?

Still another year to The Process. Too many holes to fill. This year the D got beefier and we nabbed our QB. We're going to follow the same plan as last year, lean hard on the D and hope the O can put up enough points for the win. After this upcoming season we'll recover a ton of salary cap room. Next off-season we'll completely overhaul the O through free agency and the draft, custom tailored for our QB.
